Food Revolution Day WORDS DESY NURHAYATI PHOTOS STANNY ANGGA

Y

outh creative haven Flux Lifeground hosted Food Revolution Day for the third consecutive year last Saturday.

The worldwide campaign, led by chef Jamie Oliver and the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation, aims to feed communities with local ingredients and to inspire fun and healthy cooking habits in people of all ages.

This year’s Food Revolution Day theme was “From Garden to Table”, with programs including Urban Gardening by Golden Leaf Farm, 3-Way Veggie Noodle Workshop by chef Danang from Courtyard Marriot, Rujak Food Styling and Lettering by Stedjaya and

Knackerjoy, as well as a Foodgram and photo shoot by Jack Magnifico.

Some 40 participants, from children to young adults, joined this year’s event, learning how to handle good quality and locally produced ingredients, make their own food styling creations and share their food art through social media.

Ruth “Sisi” Christasya Hutapea, head of Cookville food art program at Flux Lifeground, is Bali’s Ambassador for Food Revolution. She joined hundreds of ambassadors from across the world sharing the same vision.

“This year’s Food Revolution is unique because

we are breaking the boundaries at all levels of society, breaking the barriers between age, gender and socio-economic status, all bound together in a passion for cooking” said Sisi.

“Jamie’s vision is to cook from scratch, and that is what we are aiming for; we should respect our ingredients, we should know where they come from and the results will come naturally.”

Danang from Courtyard Marriot strongly supports this vision, saying: “The freshest ingredients always create good quality food, and this campaign is a great place to start educating communities on the importance of healthy food to feed our future.”

Food Revolution Day is a good opportunity to teach the younger generation about the value of being able to prepare, cook and enjoy

a healthy and nutritious meal. Knowing how to cook is an asset to health, livelihood and longevity.

During the event, Flux Lifeground also launched of its own cookbook, titled “The Little Book of Big Dreams & Delightful Dishes”, which includes personalized easy and healthy recipes from various food enthusiasts who attended Cookville’s program last year.

“This is the end result of last year’s Cookville program that bore the slogan ‘Cook your dreams! Be your own flavor’. We strongly believe that each person is unique, they all have their own style. Of course, we have our source of inspiration, our personal superhero, but what we aim to do is to facilitate freedom so they are able to achieve their dreams, whatever they are,” said Sisi.

“A fun way of campaigning for healthy cooking habits”

Sanur Beach Grove “A new chillout spot by the beach” Words and photos Luh De Suriyani

S

anur has always been a very popular resort area; its warm and welcoming atmosphere has attracted thousands of visitors throughout the years.

Amid the bustle of the main tourist strip and the dizzying array of restaurants, shops and accommodations, Sanur still offers spacious public areas, including the recently opened Sanur Beach Grove.

This previously unused land has been transformed into a green, open space where dozens of small cafés and food stalls sell a myriad food, snacks and beverages at affordable prices.

Spending a lazy afternoon at the grove, while soaking in the beauty of Sanur Beach and watching people walk and ride their bicycles along the beach path, is heavenly. A large, shady Banyan tree provides welcome shelter, while offerings are presented at the small shrine in the eastern corner of the site.

Most of the food stalls and cafés here normally open at 4 p.m., but during weekends and holidays they start earlier. There are several cafés, including Sate Oma, Smoke House, JubJub Ice Cream, Cloud Cakes, Yummy Kitchen, Nana’s, Indian Cuisine, The Café+, Roti-rotian, Barbeque and others.

On a hot sunny afternoon, we met Mardi, the owner of Warung Kecil, who sells cold drinks and light food, such as chicken or tuna wraps, as well as talking to Rajil, the 23-yearold owner of The Café+.

Mardi shared that the vendors had been

May 26, 2016

told this was a temporary site and that they must be ready to move elsewhere once the hotel project slated for the area was ready to start. “We pay a monthly rental fee to have a food stall here,” she said.

At The Café+, Rajil and his friends serve dozens of types of toast, or roti bakar. Most foreigners, he said, preferred to buy savory flavors, such as cheese or beef, while the local

people were eager to try sweet toast with jelly, Kit-Kat or other chocolate.

Meanwhile, Yummy Kitchen offers fried bananas and es pisang ijo (green banana ice), a specialty from Makassar, South Sulawesi.

Visitors have a choice of sitting on wooden benches or on the grass; you can also rent a bamboo mat to sit on.

The management of Sanur Beach Grove

has decreed that all of the food and drink stalls must offer different things, to foster diversity, and they actively run joint promotions for the area.

The grove is safe for children to play and has a spacious parking lot. It is easily accessible, being just off Jl. Raya Danau Tamblingan by La Taverna hotel and opposite Ganesha book store.

F

ood lovers and chef aspirants should head to Ubud this weekend to rejoice in the return of Ubud Food Festival, the island’s premier culinary gathering that enters its second year this time.

Held May 27-29 at Taman Kuliner, a spacious compound with open-air buildings facing the gorgeous landscape of the famed Campuhan ridge, as well as scores of other venues across Ubud, the gathering will focus on the theme “Go Local”. Alongside Indonesian

“The exhilarating culinary adventure is back”

chefs, restaurateurs, producers and food professionals, celebrated culinary icons from around the world will dish up a program rich in fresh produce, fresh tastes and fresh ideas.

From coffee to chili, peanuts to papaya, tofu to turmeric, local produce will be the star in a program spanning live cooking demonstrations, special events, workshops, foodie tours, markets, live music, film screenings and much, much more.

Indonesian culinary legend and TV chef Sisca Soewitomo is slated to be honored with a lifetime achievement award at the festival.

Among the list of attractive speakers are Arie Parikesit, a young foodie entrepreneur and “walking dictionary” of Indonesian street food, who spends most of his time leading food tours around Indonesia while documenting where to eat, the people behind the local cuisine, the local wisdom and cultural landscape of each island’s food; and Bara Pattiradjawane, who rose to fame since hosting the Nougat cooking show on Trans TV, and more recently as a judge on Junior Masterchef Indonesia. He has

published many cookbooks aimed at the home cook, and founded GulaGoela — a delivery service for homemade sweets.

In one of the festival’s special events, Bara will share the stage with famed Dutch chef Bart van Olphen, whose YouTube hit, Bart’s Fish Tales, has racked up hundreds of thousands of views. The series follows the passionate chef in his mission to cook fresh, sustainably sourced seafood, while also raising awareness of the challenges facing the fishing industry.

Titled “A Fin Feast — Fish Tales from Ambon to Amsterdam”, the special event will be held at Casa Luna, one of Ubud’s oldest

establishments.

Other speakers include Bondan Winarno; Bayu Amus, who founded Bali food adventure blog Epicurina; Ben Ripple, the co-founder of Big Tree Farm, one of Indonesia’s largest certified organic producers; Chris Salans of Mozaic; Will Meyrick of Hujan Locale; Helianti Hilman, the founder of Javara, which works with 50,000 farmers across Indonesia selling over 600 artisanal products; and Tri Sutrisna, an Ubudian who leads local farming cooperative Wanaprasta in blending traditional Balinese agriculture practices with a “whole-farm” philosophy.

Creativity through used newspaper “A new innovation in traditional craft” Words and photos Eka Juni Artawan

Most people ignore the piles of old newspapers in their homes, or just throw them away. But at Komunitas Jalak Bali, a non-profit organization actively supporting people living with HIV/AIDS in Jembrana, west Bali, those heaps of old newspapers can be transformed into artistic handicrafts.

Along with a number of volunteers in Baluk village in Jembrana, I Made Suarnayasa has started to create a large variety of useful and artistic products from recycled newspaper, such as keben (a rectangular container usually made of bamboo or pandanus leaves), tissue boxes and bokor (large plates usually made of silver or bronze).

The organization and the volunteers have been involved in this craftsmanship for just two months, but their determination and hard work has been fruitful. Suarnaya and his staff are able to train women living with HIV/AIDS to create products that can help them generate a sustainable income, which in turn enhances their living conditions.

Suarnayasa explained that the idea was to empower women living with HIV/AIDS. “We are hoping that they can regain their selfesteem and financial independence. If they can produce something of economic value and sell it, they can get the money they need to support themselves and buy their medication,” said Suarnayasa.

The team’s creativity has also improved the

6

May 26, 2016

village’s environment. “We want to maximize material use. There shouldn’t be any material wasted. These products are environmentally friendly items.”

During a recent village competition in Jembrana, Komunitas Jalak Bali displayed dozens of their products. “All of our displayed items sold and the women even received bulk orders from local and foreign tourists.”

With the help of his wife, Sayu Putu Widiati, Suarnayasa teaches volunteers and the women how to create innovative forms of traditional Balinese handicrafts. To make a keben, for example, can take one to three days and usually requires around 70 rolls of newspaper.

For all the products, the newspaper is first rolled, after which it can be woven. The next steps lie in the creativity of the individual as they try to create unique but saleable items.

Most of the products sell for between Rp 50,000 (US$3.65) and Rp 300,000 each.

Komunitas Jalak Bali and the women produce colorful keben, bokor and other items with distinctive designs. “Some of the products are using the original design, which makes them look very classical. When we sell them online, we immediately receive orders from clients in France, Japan and Korea. This has really pushed me and other members of the community to produce more high-quality items.”

the present government has been actively renovating this heritage area and banned street vendors from operating along jl. Gajah mada. however, the former pasar Badung traders have nowhere else to go as there were only limited spaces in the neighboring pasar

kumbasari and pasar payuk. as a result, until the Denpasar mayoralty provides space for these displaced traders, the city’s heritage site has transformed into a busy, temporary night market.

It was almost midnight and a number of fruit and vegetable vendors looked sleepy. some people wanted to buy fruit from an elderly woman, but the grandmother was already asleep in the midst of her big bamboo baskets. the female traders previously sold their fruit and vegetables at pasar Badung market, which was razed by fire earlier this year. so, despite a ban by the Denpasar mayoralty, which designated the street a heritage site, they now trade on jl. Gajah mada. noted scholar and writer, I nyoman Darma putra, recorded that the area, with its historical buildings that blend chinese and western art

Deco styles, major temple, tukad Badung river, museums, old hotels and art shops, had long been one of Bali’s most prominent business and cultural centers.

In july 1964, the local government held the week-long Gajah mada Festival, an event that inspired the current Gajah mada Festival. the old festival brought together local artists, traders and people from different walks of life. It was a cultural hub, putra wrote, held on three stages — the wisnu stage, pasar senggol stage and Indra stage. In 1965, the festival was halted, continuing in 1966 with a new name, Denpasar ria.

lungkung regency was once the political and cultural nucleus for a Balinese kingdom that reached its heyday between the 14th and 17th centuries and had a territory that stretched from lombok in west nusa tenggara to Blambangan in east java. klungkung is also recognized as one of the island’s most historic sites and is where puputan klungkung, the deadly and heroic fight against the Dutch colonial occupation, took place. however, compared to Denpasar, Badung and Gianyar, Bali’s most prominent tourist destinations, klungkung is relatively unknown and lags behind in tourism promotion, not even being included in Bali’s top 10 destinations.

I nyoman suwitra, the klungkung regent, has big plans to change this and has launched a comprehensive tourist promotion program through the semarapura city tour to explore the city’s history.

In conjunction with klungkung Festival 2016, the regent introduced the tour last april. “we are eager to introduce klungkung’s historical assets,” noted I wayan sujana, head of klungkung culture and tourism agency. the semarapura city tour is a walk around semarapura, the capital of klungkung regency, and takes in sites such as the puputan klungkung monument, klungkung palace, kertha Gosa hall of justice, Balai Budaya cultural center and the art market. puputan klungkung monument is 28 meters high and built in the form of the lingga Yoni with 19 lotus carvings on its octagonal peak. with four entrances, the numbers in the architecture reflect the date of the puputan klungkung — april 28, 1908.

Inside the towering monument are wall reliefs portraying the courageous acts of the klungkung kingdom and its subjects while fighting the Dutch. other scenes illustrate klungkung’s history from pre-historic through to more recent times. next on the tour is puri agung semarapura, or the palace of the God of love. Built in the 17th century, the palace was once Bali’s most intricate and decorated royal residence, blending Balinese, majapahit and Dutch architectural elements.

Unfortunately, during puputan klungkung, the palace was almost entirely destroyed, except for its lavish kori agung (split gate). after series of renovations, the palace is now occupied by the present royal family and the king, Dewa agung cokorda Gede agung, regularly chaperones visitors on the tour around his palace. the site of puputan klungkung, across from the palace, is now a park with public and sporting facilities being built to create a meeting point for klungkung’s residents. the historical kerta Gosa, or hall of justice, and its rectangular floating pavilion are popular spots on the tour and feature extensive kamasan paintings on the ceiling portraying myths and legends, the astrological calendar and the kingdom’s legal system. originally, the klungkung king would go to kerta Gosa to consult with his advisers, while during colonial rule, it was used for plaintiffs to await their judgment. the final stop on the tour is a visit to the vibrant klungkung art market, where visitors can find stunning traditional Balinese textiles, such as tenun and songket, as well as other beautiful handicrafts.

ancakes are a popular food worldwide and take many different forms — from the thick, sweet, fluffy creations popular in the US served with sausage and syrup, to the thin crêpes of France and the UK served with lemon juice and sugar, and the stodgy potato versions found in Germany and its vicinity.

Historically, pancakes have been eaten as an energy-packed breakfast or afternoon treat in Europe since the early 15th century and are also the main feature in the Christian tradition of Shrove Tuesday, the day before the Easter abstinence period of Lent starts, when pancakes are cooked to use up any remaining fat, sugar and eggs — all of which are forbidden during Lent.

Nowadays, pancakes can be found everywhere and are currently a trendy treat among Denpasar’s youths.

At Funny Pancake, a café located at Jl. Sesetan 200 in Denpasar, your pancakes are served not only with a myriad of toppings but also in the shapes of cartoon characters, such as Patrick from Sponge Bob, Minions and other imaginary characters.

The café is richly decorated in colorful paint and has an open kitchen ready to challenge its visitors’ creativity and cooking talents. It is also equipped with a sofa with teddy bear pillows, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Visitors can also cook their own pancakes using bottled ingredients priced at Rp 38,000 (US$2.79) per bottle and use toppings such as chocolate, blueberry jam, cheese, Kit Kat, Oreo biscuits and ice-cream. The toppings are sold

separately for between Rp 5,000 and Rp 12,000 each.

Funny Pancake claims to be the first do-ityourself pancake café in Bali.

In addition to making normal pancakes, visitors can also create a pizza-sized pancake called the Happy Pizza with various toppings for a cost of Rp 80,000 each.

To receive an extra pancake while enjoying your order, you can upload your photos to your social media account and tag @ pancakefunny, hashtag #FunnyFreakShake and #FunnyFreakPhoto.

aising awareness of marine conservation issues takes many forms, including traditional storytelling. To stimulate interest, the Coral Triangle Center (CTC) has taken wayang as a medium to spread messages about taking care of the ocean.

In the initial performance, held last Tuesday, CTC introduced Wayang Samudra. Wayang are the famed traditional Indonesian shadow puppets that have been in existence for more than a thousand years, while the word samudra means ocean.

Drawing from a collection of 25 wayang characters, the performance featured clown fish, tuna, coral reef fish, mandarin fish, sea turtles, salmon and octopus and focused on the unique attributes of each fish species and how they related to one another in the marine ecosystem.

The performance, attended by 20 CTC partners, lasted for 45 minutes and was performed in the pool at CTC’s office.

In the narrative, the fish discussed their way of life in different marine and coastal ecosystems and the threats they faced to their homes, especially coral reefs. They talked about overfishing, destructive fishing practices, plastic waste and pollution, as well as the various creative ways that the destruction of their environment could be stopped, blending both scientific knowledge and humor in the dialogue.

This performance was put together by two dalang, or puppeteers, from Central Java — Sujono Keron and Sih Agung Prasetyo — from the Lima Gunung Art Community based in Magelang. Both artists are known for their groundbreaking work in adapting traditional shadow puppet storytelling to highlight pressing environmental issues.

They recently held a wayang performance on a river to shine the spotlight on the impact of improper waste management on river

ecosystems in their hometown. They have performed across Indonesia using both traditional wayang performances and modern adaptations, such as Wayang Samudra and Wayang Serangga.

“This performance illustrates how we can engage and inspire a wider audience to care for oceans and our marine resources using creative methods, such as artistic performances and traditional storytelling,” CTC executive director Rili Djohani said.

“Wayang Samudra brings marine creatures to life and helps the audience relate to the

issues on a more personal level.”

Rili noted that CTC’s wayang collection and the Wayang Samudra performance had been inspired by one of the board members, retired lawyer and noted wayang collector Gregory Churchill.

Churchill, who has more than 6,000 wayang in his collection, led the creation and design of Wayang Samudra, supported by CTC staff.

She also said that CTC would continue to work with the dalang to enhance Wayang Samudra in preparation for a series of performances blending culture and nature to

be held in Bali in October this year.

As a Bali-based non-profit organization with a regional scope and global impact, CTC aims to expand its outreach and impact by developing a Center for Marine Conservation in Bali, which serves as a center of excellence for marine conservation training programs and outreach activities and a venue for artistic and cultural performances, to influence approximately 1.5 million people by 2020 to protect and care for the oceans and those that depend on it.
